Bruno Nuttens - Cumberland Bing

I just pulled the trigger on this Nuttens Bing Cumberland #9, a rendition of the Bing Crosby Merchant Service pipe. This is a Série Heritage pipe. For this line, Nuttens finishes by hand stummels acquired from Saint-Claude that were turned decades ago from the old briar that was available at that time. The stems are then handmade from ebonite, cumberland or acrylic rods. The reduced labor involved in finishing these stummels lowers the price considerably. Bruno Nuttens is a Belgian pipemaker long established in France. (Seller's photo, of course.)

Just beautiful, Ed. Congrats on a classy pipe indeed! The birds eye, the shape and the stem all combine together in a most excellent way. For those interested, here's the link to Nuttens Pipes website for more great examples: http://nuttenspipes.com/en/index.htm
